Marlin Eisenach, Morgan County Extension agent, was awarded the Stow Witwer Legacy Award Thursday at the National Western Stock Show.

This honor is bestowed only on those who show they are devoted long-term to youth livestock programs, said stock show CEO Paul Andrews.

Eisenach has been closely involved with the stock show for 25 years, and is the epitome of a great youth agent, Andrews said.

Eisenach has been involved with livestock, horse and demonstration events at the show, Andrews said.

"Wherever his kids are competing, he's there," Andrews said.

He added that Eisenach is probably the best and most highly-regarded agent in Colorado.

Eisenach is also a great person and a friend to many, Andrews said.

Eisenach's first response was that his advocacy of youth is part of his job, but it was clear from other youth leaders who gathered around him that he has gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Eisenach always has a kind word for the kids involved with 4-H, and he is there to teach them and encourage them.

Not only does he work with Morgan County kids, but he helps out at fairs and events around the state.

In addition, he helps The Times to find the kids who are involved in events like the stock show and the Morgan County Fair, allowing the newspaper to highlight their accomplishments.
